What about making the act of twisting the balloons a performance in itself? Maybe you can fill some balloons with something heavy and juggle THEM, you can in effect be a balloon twister who has more "pizazz" than any other that people have seen?

Reading around the web, it seems the balloon "fraternity" is a very nice, helpful, one too.

I have a more than passing interest in this because I'm trying to get a friend of mine into it. He'd done some twisting in the past when he was working as a "santa's elf" or something, and his "life" right now is a pretty sad show. He needs to get out doing SOMETHING positive, and I'm about ready to start balloon twisting myself to get him going.
